International Intelligence, Terrorist Groups Complicate The Situation In Libya

Observers considered that the successive field developments witnessed by Libya and the widening the conflit between the conflicting parties, making it live the most dangerous stage in its history since the fall of the regime of the late Muammar Gaddafi, calling for the need to adopt a political solution that is supported by Algeria and reject all forms of foreign interference.

Security analyst Ahmed Karrouche believes that the seriousness of the situation in Libya lies in the presence of international intelligence and terrorist groups on its soil, which led to an increased frequency of the Libyan-Libyan conflict that is supported by external parties.

For his part, Tunisian political analyst, Ali Al-Arlani, described Algeria’s position from the Libyan struggle as wise and responsible because it rejects foreign interference and calls for a political solution and dialogue between all Libyan parties.

He believes, in statements to the first radio on Tuesday, that the participation of Algeria and Tunisia in the Berlin conference is necessary for geo political and security considerations, and coordination between the two countries in this regard is important to influence all Libyan parties which must be convinced of this initiative.

The Commissioner for Peace and Security of the African Union, Ismail Sharqi, announced, Tuesday, that the Peace and Security Council of the African Union will hold early February a summit to discuss the situation in Libya and the Sahel region, which have been experiencing instability for years.

“This meeting, which will be held on the eve of the African Union summit is scheduled for February 8 and 9 in Addis Ababa. It will be devoted to the Libyan crisis and arms circulation, which has exacerbated the situation in the Sahel region. In addition to the military escalation in Libya, the uncontrolled circulation of weapons coming from the Libyan arsenals has contributed significant in deteriorating the security situation in the Sahel region”.

After the success of its recent mediation in Central Africa, the African Union wants to restore the Libyan file, as it remains committed to supporting a comprehensive peace settlement in Libya.
